>It depends on the position of the grid on the airfield. To clarify. Grid is off the active strip to one side, so when taking off, the tow combination then tracks back onto the active strip and flies away. That is, there is a clear runway alongside the launch grid.

I am not referring to landing long past the grid and then taxying off to clear the runway. I have done that many times. i.e. down the runway, taxying away from the grid and not towards any fixed objects if the brakes decide to fail or that I have miscalculated energy management! Perhaps I should've asked, "How many ways are there to skin a cat?" _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
